Demon Queen (1987 Video)
1/10
Sacrifices Story for a String of Dull, Gory Death Scenes
1 February 2024
This vanity production was shot on videotape in Tennessee and Florida by ex-horror magazine editor Farmer, armed with about ten bucks, half a script and gallons of stage blood. Lucinda (Mary Fanaro), immortal witch with a lot of time on her hands, enjoys ripping out the hearts and necks of her victims. Some of her victims get back up again and run around Nashville looking for flesh to munch on.

Meanwhile, Lucinda hooks up with an obnoxious street-punk cocaine dealer (Dennis Webster) and beds down at his apartment. Webster's couch-potato girlfriend objects, for which she ends up in the bathtub with a tap in her neck. By the time Webster figures out what's up, Lucinda is attacked by one of her own victims and supposedly killed.

One of Farmer's early quickies, DEMON QUEEN sacrifices story telling for a series of dull but gory set pieces. Like many other regional horror films, the credits proclaim a "special guest star" no one's ever heard of. The make-up effects are so-so, and include lumbering, drooling zombies and a gooey monster mask that appears to slip off an actor's face in mid-shot.
